[Chorus 1]

Someone outta knock you down a couple of pegs

Have you heard what I said?

They're gonna have to walk you out

You opened your mouth, what was that all about?

Now you can't leave

Now you can't leave

[Verse]

I could write them an angry letter

Making things just a little better

Mimics loose change that's in my pocket:

Nearly useless and inconvenient

Sometimes half-mast is too high

I drive and get only red lights

[Chorus 2]

Someone outta knock you down a couple of flights

You've avoided this fight

Then they outta steal your crown

Divide the wealth, spread it amongst ourselves

How will it end?

How will it end?

[Bridge]

If my place goes up in flames it will last for several days

But it's okay

Rectified through insurance claims

All friends and family swarm

To the front lawn as we keep warm

By the fire, with no desire to move on

If my place goes up in flames

They'll extinguish it the same day, but that is okay

I don't need its contents anyway

My friends and family ignore

It's just me trying to keep warm on the front lawn

Everything I had is gone

Is gone

[Outro]

Someone outta knock you down

But I don't have the strength to make it so

Someone outta steal your crown

And spread the wealth, divide amongst ourselves

Wish someone would have let me know

They replaced the "bad" in front of luck with "Joe."
